About The Position
Welocalize is seeking detail-oriented individuals for the role of Data Quality Associate. This is not a typical annotation position. You will work directly with advanced AI systems, assessing their outputs, identifying shortcomings, and enhancing their real-world performance. The role combines data quality, model evaluation, and human judgment, requiring critical thinking and adherence to guidelines. Ideal candidates are curious about AI, comfortable forming opinions, and confident in contributing to discussions with team members, leads, and stakeholders.
Requirements
- Native-level English proficiency (UK, CA, AU)
- University degree (Bachelor’s or higher)
- 1–2 years of professional writing experience with strong, structured writing skills
- Ability to apply complex writing rules and guidelines consistently
- Strong understanding of safety considerations in GenAI data delivery, with 2+ years of relevant experience
- Strong critical thinking and attention to detail
- Ability to make sound judgment calls in ambiguous situations
- Naturally curious about AI, technology, and how systems behave
- Comfortable speaking up, asking questions, and contributing ideas
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to stay consistent while working with evolving guidelines
- Must be authorized to work in the U.S. (no visa sponsorship)
- Must be located in or able to commute to one of the following cities: New York City, Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, San Francisco, Sunnyvale, or Burlingame.
